Wyatt Smith performs Goldberg Variations

• Wyatt Smith, harpsichord

Dr. Wyatt Smith, (Affiliate Artist, Organ and Harpsichord, University of Puget Sound) performs the complete Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) in Wells Hall. September 9th, at 8pm.  

This performance of the Goldberg Variations will be performed in Wells Hall, to capture a more intimate experience of the music, in keeping with the original intent of its composition. Wyatt and the harpsichord will be in the center of the room; attendees are invited to sit in a 360 degree circle around the performer, or even to listen from the mezzanine.

Please join us for this amazing event. Bach's music – alive to us nearly 300 years after its publication – reminds us that we are the inheritors of a rich legacy, not only in the vast beauty of the tradition of western art music, but also in our own small corner of the world, maintaining our buildings at 310 North K Street!

This benefit concert is part of the fundraising efforts of Christ Church's Daily Office Ministry in celebration of the rich historical legacy left to us in our beautiful buildings and campus.
